Investing in the Long View
“Impact” is one of Silicon Valley’s favorite buzzwords, and evaluating programmatic outcomes has become a crucial aspect of assessing the success of a university. While the Ignatian Center is deeply committed to evaluating the success of our programs, we also recognize that the impact of some life experiences may not be measurable or immediately obvious - neighborliness, wisdom, and magnanimity, for example - but are perhaps the most meaningful.
At the Ignatian Center, we take the long view, forever interested in who our students become and the direction in which their lives tend. It is humbling to see the impact that the Center’s programs have had on students, both in their college years and in that tender time following graduation, as they begin to make their way in the world. Our work is a serious investment in the impact that the students involved in our programs will make over a lifetime. All the signs indicate that this investment is already bearing fruit - here, there, and everywhere.
